Raw Iron Block Beacon Base Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Can I use raw iron blocks instead of iron blocks for my beacon pyramid?
Yes, raw iron blocks work exactly like regular iron blocks for building beacon base pyramids. You can use them for any layer of the pyramid structure.
Do I need to smelt raw iron blocks before using them on a beacon?
No, raw iron blocks can be placed directly on your beacon pyramid without smelting them first. The mod allows them to function as-is.
How do I pay a beacon with raw iron instead of mineral blocks?
Place raw iron items into the beacon's interface just like you would with other mineral payment items. The beacon will accept raw iron as valid payment for activating effects.
Can I mix raw iron blocks with diamond or emerald blocks in the same pyramid?
Yes, you can combine raw iron blocks with other mineral blocks like iron, diamond, emerald, and netherite in a single pyramid. The beacon will function normally with a mixed base.
Does a raw iron block pyramid give different beacon effects than a regular iron block pyramid?
No, raw iron block pyramids provide the same effects and power levels as regular iron block pyramids. The only difference is the material used.
What happens if I build a beacon pyramid with only raw iron blocks?
A pyramid made entirely of raw iron blocks will work like any other single-mineral beacon pyramid, granting you the standard beacon effects for that layer configuration.
Can raw iron blocks be used for all four levels of a beacon pyramid?
Yes, raw iron blocks can be used for any or all layers of a four-level beacon pyramid, just like other mineral blocks.
Do I need to update my beacon if I already built one before installing this mod?
No, existing beacons will continue to work as before. You can add raw iron blocks to them or rebuild sections with raw iron whenever you choose.
Is there a limit to how much raw iron I can use to pay a beacon?
Raw iron payment follows the same rules as other mineral payment items—the beacon will accept it based on its standard payment mechanics.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues with my beacon?
Raw iron block beacons have the same performance impact as regular mineral block beacons, so this mod should not cause additional lag.
